Clonidine (Catapres). Like the beta blockers, clonidine acts by reducing norepinephrine activity, though by a different mechanism. Studies show that clonidine can provide early relief from the symptoms of a panic attack, but patients unfortunately relapse with continued treatment. Therefore, clonidine is not used in the treatment of panic disorder. 

Clonidine (Catapres). Clonidine, an antihypertensive medication that decreases serotonin availability through a mechanism distinct from cyproheptadine, has also been tested in the treatment of AN. Unfortunately, clonidine does not appear to promote weight gain in anorexia patients. In addition, clonidine may further exacerbate the low blood pressure that AN patients commonly experience. Consequently, clonidine has no role in the treatment of AN. 

Clonidine (Catapres). Clonidine is largely used to treat high blood pressure. Although we don t fully understand how clonidine acts, it appears to reduce norepinephrine activity by stimulating a norepinephrine receptor known as the alpha-2 receptor. When clonidine binds to alpha-2 receptors on norepinephrine neurons, so-called autoreceptors, the cells are tricked into believing that there is already sufficient norepinephrine released and thus decrease any additional release of norepinephrine. As one might anticipate, clonidine is somewhat effective at reducing the hyperactivity and impulsivity of ADHD. It does not, however, provide nearly as much benefit for the inattention of ADHD.

Clonidine raises systemic blood pressure and heart rate by stimulating o -adrenorecep-tors in certain parts of the CNS, and it is used mainly as an antihypertensive agent. Clonidine is used in various forms of hypertonic illnesses and for stopping hypertensive attacks. It is also used in ophthahnological practice for open-angle glaucoma. Synonyms of clonidine are hemiton, catapres, and clofelin.
